Anthony Martineau Makes a Bold Suggestion for Ivan Demidov's Line in Montreal
Anthony Martineau wants to see Zachary Bolduc alongside Ivan Demidov to energize the Montreal Canadiens' offense.
And what if Zachary Bolduc was finally the missing piece to unlock even more of Ivan Demidov's game in Montreal?
Anthony Martineau spoke candidly about it during his appearance on JiC on TVA Sports.
He explained that he would really like to see Martin St-Louis try a line of Zachary Bolduc, Alex Newhook, and Ivan Demidov in the Canadiens' upcoming games.
I have to say, I really like the idea.

"What do we lose by trying a goal-scorer like Bolduc with Newhook and Demidov? We lose nothing at all - in fact, we might even gain something."

Martineau reminds us that Bolduc has shown some great things recently, especially in the game against Ottawa.
"Zach Bolduc knows he needs to be more effective on the forecheck and start hitting to earn ice time. He played over 15 minutes against Ottawa and almost sent Jake Sanderson flying with one shoulder hit." - Anthony Martineau
Here's the clip of Bolduc's game changing hit on Senators' Jake Sanderson:
He added even more:
"He has one of the best shots on the team. So what are we waiting for to put him with Demidov?" - Martineau
It's hard not to agree with him.
It's clear that Demidov continues to wow crowds with his talent, but I think he's missing a more explosive winger to truly showcase his skill at 5-on-5.
Bolduc might be exactly what he needs.
In my opinion, that line would have everything to shine. Bolduc brings some grit, Newhook adds speed, and Demidov - well, we already know what he brings...
Still, St-Louis decided to test out new line combinations yesterday,
with a busy stretch beginning tonight against the Flyers.
